The unexpected side of life

The following was copied/pasted from the internet and I regret I have not been able to trace the author or the origin of the words shared...

No two people come to God by the same road. There are very, very few who reach Him without stumbling and falling. There are seeds that grow a long time in darkness before they push up shoots into the sun… There are others that come to light at one thrust in a single day…

If you are currently in darkness, but you want the light, you will come to it in time… The human soul meets barriers that it must cross, and they are not always crossed at one stride. The direction in which the soul travels is the important thing.

If the soul travels away from itself, then it must ultimately come to God. If it turns back on itself, this may lead to desperation because without God we are nothing … 

Everything, therefore, that urges you to an outward growth – service, love and the simplest interest in the world – can be a step towards Him…
